  • Regular meetings with the Academic director to discuss learning needs
  • Apartments located next to the school
  • Apartment - shared / Residence accommodation very close to school

Location: Lexis Korea is situated to the south of Seoul, on the other side of The Hangang River, in the Seocho-gu district. The school is in a busy part of the neighbourhood, with a large selection of restaurants and shops lining the streets.

Getting around: The closest metro station is a 6-minute bus trip from the school. There are two lines that go through this station. A number of bus routes have stations on the streets around the school that makes navigating the city easy. It takes around 45 minutes to reach the centre of the city by bus.

Things to do in Seoul: Towards the centre of the city is the Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village and Changdeokgung Palace. These are under an hour from Lexis English by public transportation. On the way to the centre of the city is the N Seoul Tower. This is around 40 minutes from the school.

Course structure: The school teaches both English and Korean to international students. Korean is the prominent language at Lexis Korea, with general Korean classes taught in different formats as well as a TOPIK exam preparation course. English is taught as an exam preparation course for those wanting to pass the IELTS exam.

Teen Activity Programme: In the summer, teenagers are able to join the school for a package language experience in Korean.

School building: Lexis Korea is in the ANY Tower in Seoul, and spreads over three floors. It has a rooftop garden, study area, flat screen tv, water fountain, kettle and microwave. There is wifi throughout the building.

“The teachers! They became not just teachers for me but also good friends! Unfortunately I couldn't take part in all the activities because I have many friends in Seoul and I wanted to spend some time with them too :) I took part only in two activities: a cultural exchange with Korean students, we met up in a cafe on the ground floor where we drunk coffee and just talked about various things, of course in Korean :) You may want to speak English as almost all Koreans at the school could speak English. And some of the students spoke English with them, but if you speak English, there will be no progress in Korean. For example, I am very glad that I do not know English :) so I had no choice but to speak only Korean with them , they certainly do not know Russian :) the second activity, which I visited was watching the movie Raning man :) all the students from different levels and group got together and watched the movie on the big plasma :) The advantage: the movie was in Korean without subtitles :)”
Insider tip: “My advice: if you live 4 ~ 7 metro stops from school, on the first day of your course you should leave the house 1.5 ~ 2 hours in advance as Korean subway is very slow. as when'll go to the first day of the exam, take the exit for the .... Korean subway :) sooo slow especially in the morning. And do not believe the metro's timetable, in the morning it can be delays up to 5 ~ 30min ... I lived close to the station Hongik University Station and went to school at Cannes. The first day I was late 45 minutes for my level test.... and I was placed in a group with the lower level because I didn't have time to finish it. but then I didn't regret it because we studied a lot of grammar which I didn't know very well and the vocabulary which you can't normally find in the standard textbooks. You should also try to speak only Korean, the result will be much better. And it is better to take a course for no less than a month. I attended a course for 2 weeks, and I regretted than it wasn't a month.”

“I loved the group size, which was reasonable. The teachers are really nice and they are also at your disposal to help solve some problems that you can meet at your arrival. But once in the classroom, not a word of English is spoken, everything is in Korean! If this can be confusing at first, it is actually a great way to learn and teachers still manage to make themselves understood one way or another. I did not stay very long bit this gave me the feeling of progressing rather quickly. This school is also a great way to meet other people travelling alone and doing things together that you wouldn't dare doing by yourself.”
Insider tip: “The school organises regular meetings with Korean students from the same school (they study English). The activity itself is not amazing but often ends up in a bar, restaurant or karaoke and this is where the real meeting takes place.”
Details of the review
Other comments I have not done a lot of activities but from those that I've made and returns that I've had from others, they are really not essential. Most are included in the price even when booking half-time courses (except entrance fees of a museum for example). Apart from this the school was really great and I'll come back there on my next visit.

“The school is located near the Gangnam subway station in a neighbourhood with lots of restaurants, cafés ... So very well. The teachers are really nice and we learn Korean but also talk about their country, society ... we can discuss everything. We all shared our experiences and it was great. The courses are very intensive. The first level lasts for a week with a test to reach the next level which ends after 4 weeks. So be careful about the time spent at school and the targeted level.”
Insider tip: “I recommend going at least once to a student party on Friday night to get to know students from other groups.”

“The teachers and staff have been friendly and helpful. The location of the school right next to Gangnam Station is good. The lessons are quite demanding and intensive. I really liked that the lessons were varied. Besides vocabulary and grammar, there were also opportunities to practise conversation. I found it neither good nor bad that there were a lot of German-speaking students there (at least when I was there).”
Disliked
“The afternoon course was a bit too low for me in terms of level, but unfortunately there was no higher level offered. I personally thought it was good that the course progressed so quickly, but I can imagine that it can also be a bit overwhelming in some circumstances. Especially for people who haven't been learning for that long.”
Insider tip: “A trip to Incheon is worthwhile.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The course is 5 hours per day Mon-Thu. The lunch break is 1 hour. There is also homework from time to time, so the course is really work-intensive.

Quality of teaching / language progress: Highly recommended if you want to combine a language course and a holiday. Studying in the morning and exploring the city the rest of the day.

“The location is very convenient (very central in Gangnam and very close to metro and bus) and I liked the teacher I had (she knew a lot, had good teaching skills, was patient and made me feel comfortable, she encouraged me to speak. ..)”
Insider tip: “Once you are assigned a group, your teacher is your contact person for everything, and the one that signs you in for activities, gives you your final certificate and sees you off on our last day. You don't really get to have hardly any contact with the rest of the staff.”
Details of the review
Other comments In general, everything was correct and as expected, although my first day was quite chaotic at first. I want to think that it was because sudden heavy rains on the way to school caused many new students to arrive together and with less anticipation than expected as transport was affected due to the rain. So it was all a bit confusing and chaotic at reception but it was solved in a few minutes.

“Even though I felt like the lessons progressed slowly (only one grammar point per 3-hour class), going every day really helped my Korean listening, and I started picking up words and phrases outside of class.”
Insider tip: “I felt like my first placement was too easy and the teacher said so too, and since I was only there for a week, I asked the staff to change my level, and they did.”

Other comments The course was called “intensive” and while the classroom hours were long, I felt that the lessons progressed quite slowly and that the teachers were often talking/showing us YouTube videos just to kill time. But the quality of the teachers were great, and they explained everything very thoroughly.

“In the first morning class, the explanation was in English, so I thought that Japanese students with poor English skills would have a hard time understanding the explanation. Students also asked questions in English, so I often had a hard time catching the conversations. Sometimes it was more understandable for me to listen if they spoke in Korean.”
Insider tip: “For the beginner level, it is tough to keep up with the class if you do not have English ability. Many students in the beginner class may not understand Korean, so both teachers and students speak only in English.”

Questions and answers about Lexis Korea

Once we know where you will be staying, we will help you organize both transfers.”
